Can still hearing Sultans of Swing for the first time on late-night radio, hosted by the legendary, late DJ Barry Jenkins, who couldn’t believe that they were an unsigned band.
-
My copy, on side 2 in the runout has etched; GREAT - SUPER. Presumably a reference to the buzzwords used by two co-workers from Sunshine Jellies marketing dept. in The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.
